I'm thinking some fairly aggressive blocking will sort the border out. Glad I went down two needle sizes. Onward to the sleeves. Tomorrow. #knitting #knittersOfMastodon

Black lace cardigan sweater body without sleeves yet. It is on a bedspread. There are loose ends. The bottom border is wavy. It has not been blocked.

Flower Stole - a new project.

I bought a third ball from the same yarn (but different dye lot) that I'd used for the cardigan (which is still drying) - just in case.

I'll turn it into a stole with a simple flower pattern, worked on the bias but with a straight cast on. Pretty mindless, 8 stitch / 8 row pattern repeat.

I started it to take to the #KIP event.

A knitting project in progress. In the center is a large cake of yarn in a gradient from dark dusky rose to off white. Placed in a half circle around a knitting project, starting at the dark end with a flower lace pattern.

This Vaxbo linen made quite an interestingly geometric cake.

#knitting

Linen yarn that has been mechanically balled. The way it formed as the ball was created made a pattern of diamond shaped windows all around it.

Start of the project.

I'm making a top down sweater with a European shoulder.

Doing just stripes didn't blend / fade nicely enough so I'm adding a bit of texture at the color changes to blur it further. I think that works nicely.

Now on to write down some notes or I will forget what I've done so far ...

Beginning of a knitting project on a wooden floor.

It's mostly dusty rose with a few stripes of darker pink towards the lower part.

Also this might be the best piece of #knitting I’ve done recently. My friend asked for an *unusual* Christmas stocking for her daughter

A red knit Sesame Street alien with green antennae. The idea is to use it as a Christmas stocking with the mouth being where to put the goodies

New project - this time a cardigan.

I bought the yarn this summer in Denmark as a souvenir with the vague idea to make a cardigan / jacket with stranded colorwork at the yoke. On a black and white picture the colors have enough contrast against each other, but the heathering eats finer details, so it's going to be a very simple zig-zag.

The yoke will be based on the percentag system from "Knitting in the old way" but top down

#knitting @knitting @fiberarts #fiberarts

A collage of two pictures.

The top picture is a hank of light pink heathered yarn on a light wood background. It has a ballband with a black and white drawing of a sheep and the writing "Dansk Pelsuld 8/2" on it.

The lower picture has two hanks of grey heathered yarn and the ballband from front and back - the backside has a lot of text, but too small to be decipered in the picture.

Australian software engineer Sarah Spencer hacked a 1980's knitting machine to create "Stargazing: a knitted tapestry" to show the universe in a unique way. 🇦🇺

Sarah explains, “By using a floppy drive emulator written in Python and a web interface, I can send an image to the Raspberry Pi over the network, preview it in a knitting grid, and tell it to send the knitting pattern to the knitting machine via the floppy drive port ...

If I add the triangles two and two into parallelograms I have now knitted 1000 parallelograms.
.
This project feels kind of endless, but now there are only 65 more parallelograms and an edge left before all of the weaving in of ends...
Almost done.
#knitting #handmade

Photo of an almost done knitted blanket in 23 different colours. The pattern is a bit hard to look at. It can be seen as depictions of cubes, or just rows of interlocking parallelograms.

@terrymatz is at fault. 😉

A few days ago she posted patterns for Tolkien / LOTR. I showed the hat to my son and ...

Now I'm knitting it.

"The Fellowship of the Ring hat" https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-fellowship-of-the-ring-hat

Provisional cast on, because I'm doing it in double knit. No floats on the inside that way. The yarn is very silky merino because sensitive skin. Smooth silky yarn and long floats are a recipe for disaster.

More socks finished - 2nd pair for 2026

These are for my daughter, yarn is from the Opal Schafpaten line from 2025, called Buchenwald (beech forest), pattern stitch is a double leaf pattern, don't know where I got the chart from, it's been in my files for a long time.

@knitting @fiberarts #knitting #sockknitting #fiberarts #schafpaten

Close up of a hand-knit sock with a leaf pattern along the front side.

Colors are shades of bright greens with bright pink. Colors are in block stripes of varying width.

Same socks, but this time both socks are completely visible - one is on a plastic mannequin foot the other on a sock blocker.

More socks (I hope my daughter likes them because they are for her)

The pattern I'm basing this on is called "Fairy Maiden", but i think it looks like little stacked owls 🦉 (I'm mostly just taking the pattern stitch, the rest is how I construct socks all the time).

I'm getting on with my planning what large project to tackle next, but not yet there, so I'm keeping myself occupied with small ones.
